Jingle all the Slay

Marshmallow Hollow Mysteries, Book 1

By: Dakota Cassidy

Narrated by: Hollie Jackson

Welcome to Marshmallow Hollow, Maine, where it's all Christmas all the time and murder is hung by the chimney with care....

I'm Halliday Valentine, a psychic witch who's recently moved from New York City back to my very human hometown of Marshmallow Hollow, where I run the family factory that caters to all things Christmas. I inherited the factory from Mom, who inherited from Nana Karen, but now it's just me, my curmudgeonly British familiar hummingbird, Atticus; one ungrateful rescue cat; my talking reindeer, Karen; and my BFF Stiles (the only human aware of my witchy side).

Oh, and Digby Dainty (known as Hobbs), the tall drink of water who rents my guest cottage. We have a lot in common, including a love of true crime. So as macabre as it sounds, when a shady real estate tycoon shows up dead in the middle of the annual ice festival, I'm thrilled to spend time with Hobbs, flexing our amateur sleuthing skills.

Well...not thrilled. I mean, a guy's dead after all. In fact, the only thing more surprising than a murder in our charming Christmas town is how many of my friendly, beloved neighbors seemed to want the man dead....

Fun winter read

Witty characters and fun story! Perfect for a snow day listen! Love this authors work!

Outstanding story line.

I like that the characters that were in another series has their own. The narrator brings these stories to life and they are such fun to listen too. Well done Dakota Cassidy!!

Great beginning to a new series

Dakota Cassidy has done it again with this wonderful book/audiobook to begin the Marshmallow Hollow series. It has great characters who quickly seem more like old friends than mere characters and an intriguing mystery to keep you guessing until the very end.

Hollie Jackson, as always gave a stellar performance as she breathed life into her storyline and gave each character their own distinct voice.
I highly recommend this book to cozy mystery fans.

Lovely atmosphere, puppy love

There’s some suspense but not nearly as much as in her sister’s stories. The town is introduced as well as many of its characters. I enjoyed Hobbs and Haliday.

Easy listening

It was easy listening. loves the characters. i like to listen while I work. cute story

awesome

as usual well done both in research and presentation. Mike is solo in this one but still hits it out of the park.

Oh What Fun!!!

OMG, this was the first book that I've read of Dakota Cassidy's and I loved it! It definitely helped get me more in the Xmas mood...and gave me lots of laughs and thrills along the way! I fell head over heels for all the characters in this little town and if you really want a big bonus chip... listen to the Audio... Hollie Jackson does a super job at narrating. This is a great read and I'm anxious to dive into more of Ms. Cassidy's books now!❤❤❤

Fun Spinoff from Witchless in Seattle

I love Christmas, so Hal the heroine owning a Christmas store is fabulous! The little references to everything Christmas makes the story a delight.

Fabulous Start to a New Series!

I loved this book! I am a huge Christmas fan and Dakota Cassidy fan and cozy mystery fan so I was very excited when I found this series. I loved the characters and development. The plot was interesting. It didn’t take very long to get into but wasn’t rushed in any way either.
I like Hollie Jackson as a narrator and thought she did quite a wonderful job with this book.

The different voices

Fast moving, funny, love that Karen is in her life. One narrator and several voices, love how Holly does just a wonderful job. Started this series because of Holly.
